Joy Berry's down-to-earth approach helps children overcome their shyness by helping them to understand that feeling shy is normal and there are things they can do to make them feel better about being around a new person or situation. "Being Shy" discusses these ideas in a gentle, yet effective manner. Like all of Joy Berry's books, "Let's Talk About Being Shy" speaks directly to the child and acts as a problem-solving resource for parents and caregivers. The book is filled with full-color illustrations and simple text that make the sometimes-difficult information easy to take in.
